Rock and Road Construction

Road systems are critical to forest management: access for recreation, harvesting, and resource protection. Anticipating road costs allows fiscal confidence in infrastructure investments and what traffic these investments can support. Road investment has an immediate affect on reducing harvesting cost by improving access and utilization. Anticipating cost and benefits of road investments will maximize financial potential

We locate new construction and analyze adequacy of old grades to make sure every dollar spent is put in the right place. We use control points and cost controls to get the right road in the right location.

Rock improves road access, provides traction, erosion control, and supports the sub-grade. Rock haul is often the biggest cost and impediment to adequate surfacing. On larger tracts, we can often locate adequate rock supply that we can help develop to massively reduce haul therefore allowing more to get done for less.

Temporary and permanent stream crossings are critical control points on any road system. We can help decipher the most appropriate crossing structure for your forestry roads from skid trails to mainlines.

Landing location is critical in planning now and into the future. Locations may serve one or more harvest now and into the future. Size and location can be critical for harvesting, and for future land uses including wildlife plots and house sites. We integrate landing location into your long term management strategies.
